Sobre este artículo
New York: Farrar , Straus and Giroux, 1974. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good/fine. Octavo, 478pp., plus Appendix. Stated first printing. A very good copy in the publisher's blue cloth, with some foxing to the top edge; clean and crisp internally. In a fine dust jacket. This copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Collins on the front free endpaper: "To Fred; All the best from Michael Collins." Collins, who began his astronaut career as one of "the Fourteen," the third group of NASA astronauts, is best known for his work on Apollo 11, when he manned the orbiting spacecraft alone as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Signed copies are scarce, but signed first printings are genuinely rare, as the book was quickly reprinted within months of publication. An appealing copy of a significant memoir.

Sobre Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
